Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

The two imperial envoys asked about the case and refused to disturb the place. The next day they dragged two carts of books and left the city. After returning to Beijing, one went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to pay the decree, and the other to the Fusi of Beizhen to investigate the case. Yushi and Jinyiweiti rode side by side, and there were even talking and laughing scenes on the road that shocked many passers-by.

As soon as Liu Zan returned to the procuratorate, his colleagues happily greeted him and asked: "How did Brother Liu get from this trip? Has Qian'an released the new edition of "Six Talents Version of Three Kingdoms"?"

"Did Shang Gui ever go to the library in Qian'an County? The layout in it is inconsistent with the one painted on the Collected Works of Qi Zhiyuan?"

"Maybe people enter the house where Cui Meiren lived? Is there still a beautiful woman in it?"

Liu Zan told them to block the door of Du Yushi’s room, so he had to deal with these people first: "The books and drawing notes are in the car I brought when I returned to Beijing. I will go and pack them when I get away. Ask someone to give everyone a point. In fact, there are no new books in Ju'anzhai. It seems that since Cui Meiren left, they have only published "The Collected Works of Qi Zhiyuan", and the other books and drawing notes are reprints of old things. of."

A look of disappointment appeared on everyone's faces, and they all said, "We even bought the new version of "Six Talents Criticism of the Three Kingdoms". If it's all these, it's not interesting."

Another young Yushi asked: "Who is Cui Meiren, she left without leaving a trace? Then there should always be a few copies of her previous manuscripts in the library?"

Liu Zan said, "I really went to the library when I arrived in Qian'an--"

A word was spoken silently, listening to him with bated breath inside and out. He looked around and smiled faintly: "Cui Meiren'er's room has long been completely converted into a reading room. It is filled with scholars. It is completely free of fats and pure. The books on the shelves are mostly collections of classics and history, and The real Cui Meiren's color-printed book is on the shelf."

There was a sigh of disappointment around, but some people said: "Then Qian'an County is so energetic, isn't he afraid that someone will not return the book after borrowing it?"

"Naturally, he is not afraid. His library is very thoughtful. Those who want to read must register their identity and use their credentials to read books."

He took out a piece of translucent white oily paper from his sleeve, with a three-dimensional pattern arched on the surface, a cloud-colored bookmark that looked super-character: "This is the reading card I got there, and the name, identity, His appearance and body...just as meticulously printed on the examination papers. Unfortunately, I can't ask others to borrow them on behalf of me. Otherwise, I will let my subordinates go to Qian'an once a month to sit at home and read his library."

Several colleagues took the card and passed it around, sighing: "There is no such library in Beijing. I don't know how Qian'an County came up with this ingenious method."

Liu Zan raised his eyebrows like You Rongyan: "This is not what the county magistrate Qi thought, but the prodigy Cui Xie who donated the bookstore."

Supervisor Yushi Yang Ying asked: "Is that really a child prodigy? How is it better than the Li Xueshi and Cheng editor of the Hanlin Academy? I often hear his name these days, but I have also seen him a copy of "Four Books", which he made in his hometown. Is there any good poem?"

Liu Zan was heartbroken when he thought of this, and waved his hand and said, "That Cui Xie is really a child prodigy, but unfortunately the family has hired two silly and ruthless gentlemen to be gentlemen. He has never taught him to write poetry, and he has delayed it until today. Asking a good husband, or his father will teach his son, the reputation of this child is not inferior to the two prodigies of Cheng and Li."

Everyone told him that he was confused.

A child prodigy, who has published a collection of verses since last year, said he is a child prodigy, but he can't write poems until sixteen... Then where is his god? Some scholars who read the book with one eye and ten lines and go through the book into recitation are that people like their procuratorate can remember it after reading the book twice. This alone is not a miracle, right?

On the contrary, Liu Zan sighed and shook his head and said, "I will pay the order to Master Xian first. I will spare no effort in turning around to silence the papers of the prodigy county government twice and give my colleagues a taste. Jian..."

He squeezed out of the crowd swayingly, dropped a few Yushi to watch behind him, and pushed open the door of Yudu Yushi Li Yu.

Li Yu had been told here that he was coming, so he put down the file file he had to give to the staff and waited for him. When he entered the door, he raised his head and asked with a smile, "How is Shang Kyu doing on this mission?"

Liu Zan smiled and said: "The lower officials and Xie Qianhu went to Qian'an County and Yongping Prefecture to obtain confessions from relevant witnesses, which are enough to prove the innocence of Qi Sheng in Qian'an Prefecture. The bookshop was the son of Cui Langzhong to make the county scholars have books. It is readable and donated on the initiative. Qi Sheng never concealed the merits of his initiative. The two are very close together, and there is no trace of coercion and temptation. Xiaguan compiled a file on the road and asked the General Constitution to review it."

He took out a thick confession from his sleeve, and a memorial written in it, and sent it to Li Yu's case.

Li Yu looked at these confessions and asked Liu Zan about the situation during the trial. Only when he understood the situation, he signed and stamped the following and prepared to submit it to the emperor. Liu Zan gave a gift and was about to withdraw. Li Yu suddenly stopped him and asked: "You just said that Qian'an prodigy outside, except for the "Four Books", is he really talented to learn? What poetry has it with you?"

Zhang Shangshu from the Ministry of War set him up as a model for learning, and the official minister Geng also mentioned him after his plan. Even the yushi in their courtyard went to Qian'an and came back with his mouth full of "prodigy"-can this reclusive prodigy not be The Cui family and his sons called it out for Bo's reputation. Are they really talented?

Liu Zan said earnestly: "Then Cui Xie is really talented. He has only been studying for more than a year, and he has written articles that I can't put it down. If he can be taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, he will be able to study for a few years, I am afraid that his articles are no less than Wang Shouxi. !"

When Wang Ao and Wang Shouxi were sixteen years old, they asked Guozijian students to rush to pass on the composition. The top champion Xie Qian was also ridiculed as "Wen Rang Wang Ao, looks Rang Xie Qian".

Liu Zan said with peace of mind: "Whether Cui Xie was born well, if he can enter the country's supervision for a few years and then take the exam, he will never have the regret of'being someone's appearance'."

Li Yu shook his head and scolded: "Xie Hanlin is also a man of both talents and virtue, how can he be so mean?"

Liu Zan bowed his head to admit his mistake, and said to him: "Xie Qianhu from Jin Yiwei said that he was going to check the person who posted to Yushi and framed Qi Sheng. He also said that he would purge Beijing's ethos so that everyone in the future Learning this method, manipulating Yushi to attack political opponents, the party is the same, and it is harmful to the reputation of the officials. I am afraid that some of the colleagues who submitted the letter that day will have people in Jinyiwei who will come to collect evidence. I also hope that the adults will tell them in advance to prevent them from not knowing. What happened, I was horrified."

… In the past two years, Jin Yiwei was still the minion of the Second East and West Factory, helping the internal supervisors to harm the courtiers, so he must devote himself to the clean stream and maintain the reputation of the supervisor?

Li Yu intuitively felt that Jin Yiwei was going to use this to cleanse the supervisor, and quickly stood up and said: "Send them in, the officer has something to order."

He not only called in those Yushi and asked about the identities of the posters, but also took advantage of the opportunity of Yushi to bring memorials to defend these people, hoping to keep these people, so as not to fall into any new imprisonment. in.

Soon after his memorial was handed over, Jin Yiwei's memorial was also sent to the palace, but it was pressed on his memorial.

Because Wang Zhi was demoted to the Imperial Horse Supervisor in Nanjing last year, and Shang Ming was sent to the Jingjun at the beginning of this year. The big dragons of the East and West factories all fell, and the father of Gao contributed to painting and was promoted to the **** of Silibingbi. Follow the servant. He also remembered Xie Ying's contribution to the painting, and when he saw his memorial handed over, he took the initiative to turn to the conspicuous place and attracted the emperor Chenghua to look at it.

Seeing the loyalty and honesty of the Zhuangshuli faction, the emperor wanted to purge the common ills of the supervisor, so he lightly criticized the word "ke". Xu Jinyiwei thoroughly investigated the matter and regarded it as an example for later generations.

Li Yu's memorial was handed over, but when he heard that the emperor was going to order Jin Yiwei to thoroughly investigate the rumors, he suddenly became vigilant, and he was ready to rescue the censors.

Who would think that the Qingzheng ministers of the Manchu dynasty were prepared with heart, and those yushi even ordered the coffins, but Jin Yiwei never came into their homes to search, only went to check the doors of each family and the neighbors in the same place. On the day of posting, I have seen strangers haunt nearby.

When was Jin Yiwei so kind? Was it because Wanxi and Wanda, two quasi-national relatives, saw that the prince grew up and learned to constrict their wings; or did the factory supervisors of the east and west factories fall down because of the connection of the factory supervisors of the east and west factories, so that these Jinyi guards dare not be too presumptuous?

Or is it that Jin Yiwei who supervised this case was a clear-cut figure in the factory guard?

The case was promoted in silence: the supervisor never went to the office, and Jin Yiwei never ransacked his home. Xie Ying personally raised the search and interrogation and turned the capital upside down. The whole city was full of ocher robes, but they didn't disturb the people much, as if the case didn't exist in the first place.

Just when Li Yu almost forgot that there was still such a thing, when Anxin was doing his test-reading officer, Jin Yiwei suddenly played: The case has been found out, and a Beijing rogue who posted false accusations has been locked up. In the case, several people who had escaped from Beijing were also found by Jin Yiwei, and they were escorted back to Beijing. The detainee has already found the result of the trial, but it is a figure who has nothing to do with the county magistrate Qi--

She is the wife of Cui Que, the secretary of the Department of the Household Department of Yunnan, and the daughter of Xu Yu, an official bookkeeper of Taichang Temple.

Because of her fate, Xie Ying first asked for a decree and stripped her of her fate, so that he could be taken to Beizhen Fusi for questioning.

When the memorial was passed to the cabinet, Wan Shoufu and Liu Cifu's faces were generally ugly. Cui Langzhong is one of the disciples of them, and the other's subordinates are involved in the framing of foreign officials, and the two masters and Shangguan are shameless.

The unique Sansuke Liu Ji stayed aside and said unhurriedly: “The two bachelors don’t need to worry. This matter may not have much to do with Cui Langzhong. It is his wife who makes her own decision. After all, she is a small family girl, what do you do? It’s only based on the woman’s perspective, thinking that it’s okay to slander others at will. Unexpectedly, it will hinder her husband’s future."

The two first assistants and second assistants had disliked each other for so many years, and for the first time they had the same thought: that Cui Que is really unbearable, and even a back house girl can't control it, and they point to what he can control!

Liu Suo immediately went to Shuzi quake, and introspected that he did not pay attention to the rebellion of his subordinates' house, and the woman was doing evil; Wan An was reluctant to Shuzi quake on the ground and said in public that he wanted to cut off the teacher-student relationship with Cui Lang.

Looking at the memorial in the palace, the emperor Chenghua couldn't help but frowned, and asked the attendant eunuch: "A woman, she, what is the use of framing officials? Didn't it mean that the courtyard was presented by her and her son? It was her. Home, regret it?"

When Gao Gongzheng was in front of the emperor, when he saw the memorial, he remembered that he had gone to Qian'an and gave Cui Xie the decree to Yimin. For the sake of his own face and the benefits Xie Ying gave him, he couldn't help but say a few words:

"Back to the emperor, Cui Xie, who offered the courtyard, was a righteous man who was personally honoured by the emperor. He pretended to be loyal and would like to donate all his family property to the court. Is there regret? Xian, can't see the son of the front room perform righteous deeds, and get the name, secretly find someone to smear him and the Qian'an county magistrate."
